The Party of "No"

Technorati and Me

Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix
the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M.
and the guys at
GetSatisfaction.com
where they have "community powered support for Technorati".

Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape
delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they
pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday
listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.

Wankers.

Two retirees are each receiving $195,000 per year — former Jersey City
school superintendent Charles Epps and retired Essex County College president
A. Zachary Yamba.

Perusing
the list one thing immediately jumps out. Under the "Retired From" column
on line after line you see "BD OF ED" — Board of Education —
especially at the very top where the highest payouts are shown.

Our public schools pay well, and they guarantee a very cushy retirement.

Also well represented, "Judiciary." Retired judges, living well. You'll recall
these are the underpaid public servants who
petulantly refused to contribute toward their own health care, requiring
us to pass a state constitutional amendment compelling them to pony up.

Feel bad for them, I do not.

Rounding out the list, at slightly less than half (45%) of the 6 figure club,
retired police and fire. Which stands to reason given that NJ has
the highest paid police officers in the nation, and that's before the all
too common overtime padding games they play to boost their pension payouts.
